Last Minute Saab Interest

Published torsdag 7 januari 2010 kl 11.30

As the final deadline to buy Saab autos approaches at 11pm this evening there was frenzied activity on Thursday as several prospective buyers came forward.

Dutch sportscarmaker Spyker said it would be submitting a third bid to buy Saab, while a new name in the frame came in the form of Luxembourg based investment company Genii capital. According to the TT news agency, Genii capital has met with the Swedish government and told of its plans.

GM had extended a deadline to consider offers for Saab last month after Spyker came forward with its first proposal.
